New use for an old volleyball weapon

The Region got to know Ana Nicksic as a setter last year, when as a freshman she was called on to set for Andrean's tough front line.
At over 6-foot tall, she'd always been a front-line hitter herself, but grew quickly into the setter's role. This season, she's being utilized both as a setter and has been told to unleash her hitting prowess when she sees fit. "We're keeping our options open," Andrean coach Naveed Nizam said. "We're going to use her as a weapon and we've given her the green light to swing away when she wants to. We don't want her to be timid, we want her to learn to read and see where the ball's going." Against Bishop Noll on Tuesday, Nicksic had 3 kills and was 9-for-9 hitting. Her season high is nine kills in a five-set win over Griffith. -- Hillary Smith
